Abstract:In order to solve the difficult control problem of the sulfide oxidation products in alkaline biological desulfurization, the effects of parameters, such as sulfide concentration, salinity, ORP, DO, temperature and other parameters on alkaline biological desulfurization were studied in a batch reactor. The results indicate that when the initial sulfide concentrations increased from 500 mg·L?1, the desulfurization in the reactor could be divided into three processes: rapid decline, stagnation and slow decline. During the process of rapid decline, the sulfide concentration decreased rapidly to 320 mg·L?1 within 53 min, and pH increased from 7.0 to 8.6. During the stagnation process, the sulfide concentration maintained 320~280 mg·L?1 for about 80 min, and pH decreased slowly. During the slow decline process, the sulfide concentration decreased below 10 mg·L?1 at uniformly speed, the sulfide removal rate was low, and pH decreased below 7.0. During the rapid decline process, the high desulfurization efficiency reached the highest value and the main oxidation products was elementals S, the ORP maintained ?400 mV. At the salinity of not higher than 3.5%, the temperature of 30 ℃, DO of 2 mg·L?1, and ORP of ?400 mV, the desulfurization reaction could be maintained in the rapid decline process, and the high efficiency desulfurization could be achieved accordingly. Key words:batch reactor/ alkali biological desulfurization/ sulphide removal/ salinity.
